Buxton Swimmers made a great start to the racing season at Matlock Swimming Club's gala in September.

A club spokesperson said: “There were fantastic early season performances all round with many swimmers gaining personal best times.

"Well done to the whole team for a great day's competition.”

The club saw first place medals for Olivia Pope (50m and 100m Breaststroke), James Ralph (100m freestyle and 100m Butterfly), Ruby Currington (200m freestyle) and Bronya O'Wellen (200m Butterfly).
